Triggerise and Elton John AIDS Foundation Partner to Expand Mental Health Care for Youth in Kenya

The new partnership will make mental health screenings and services accessible to thousands of young people in Kenya

NAIROBI, Kenya, May 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Triggerise is pleased to announce a new partnership with Elton John AIDS Foundation to empower young people in Kenya to take control of their mental and physical health. The $1 million grant from Elton John AIDS Foundation will ensure all Triggerise associated clinics in Mombasa, Kenya provide mental health screening and services, ranging from individual and group counselling to trauma-based care, over the next three years. These crucial mental health offerings will be fully integrated with Triggerise’s pre-existing sexual and reproductive health services (SRH) for young people between the ages of 15 and 24.

The partnership is also ensuring pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and antiretroviral therapy (ART) services are a part of Triggerise’s established offerings in Mombasa, as seamless access to SRH is crucial for this age group. Triggerise will, for the first time, work across both its existing private sector network of clinics and expand its platform coverage to include public sector clinics providing HIV services, as it is essential to support young people who test positive for HIV throughout their care journey. They will then be enrolled onto Triggerise’s mobile-powered platform, connecting them to appropriate services at no cost. The platform will anonymously track their HIV care journey with the goal of keeping them on treatment and accessing services. The Triggerise platform also allows for youth feedback on service experience so improvements can be made to meet young people’s ever-evolving needs.

“We are honoured to partner on this important initiative with Elton John AIDS Foundation,” said Richard Matikanya, Chief Operating Officer of Triggerise. “The timing of this investment is particularly exciting, as the growing mental health burden among young people in their diversity – particularly those living with HIV – has largely been overlooked. Our partnership will allow us to contribute to the evidence base on how to ensure that young people have access to mental health services that respond to their needs on their terms.”

“The Elton John AIDS Foundation is very excited to have the opportunity to partner with the innovative team at Triggerise to expand its existing programme for young people to include services to support their mental health,” said Anne Aslett, Chief Executive Officer of Elton John AIDS Foundation. “We know that mental health and physical health are syndemic and therefore critical to address simultaneously.”

“Triggerise’s easy-to-use youth centric platform has the potential to reach underserved, and often discriminated against young people, many of whom are LGBTQ+,” says Dr. Lindsay Hayden, who leads the young people portfolio at Elton John AIDS Foundation. “We’re eager to empower them with the information, support and services they need to live holistically healthy lives.”

Préparez-vous à devenir viral avec vos créations sonores originales grâce à la nouvelle fonctionnalité #OGSounds de Lomotif

La nouvelle fonctionnalité Original Sound de l’application mondiale de partage de vidéos courtes, Lomotif, permet aux utilisateurs de créer des clips audio originaux et de créer du contenu en remixant également les Original Sounds d’autres utilisateurs

Restarting Tourism Essential amid Cascading Effects of Ukraine War on Global Economy, Deputy Secretary-General Tells General Assembly Thematic Debate

Following is the text of UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed’s video message to the high-level thematic debate of the General Assembly on “Putting sustainable and resilient tourism at the heart of an inclusive recovery”, in New York today:

Your Excellency, Mr. Abdulla Shahid, President of the General Assembly, Mr. Zurab Pololikashvili, Secretary-General of the World Tourism Organization, Excellencies, tourism is a driver of growth and development. It provides direct and indirect livelihoods for hundreds of millions of people. It empowers communities, women, youth and indigenous peoples and allows people worldwide to appreciate and benefit from diverse cultures and nature.

But tourism is in turmoil. The sector has been among the hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, with particularly harsh consequences for many least developed countries, small island developing States, countries in Africa, and middle-income countries, where it is an essential source of employment, foreign currency earnings and tax revenues.

With the war in Ukraine producing alarming cascading effects on the world economy, and especially on the fiscal spaces of many developing countries, restarting tourism is essential. This high-level thematic debate provides an opportunity to recognize the tourism sector as a key driver of a sustainable and inclusive recovery, with a focus on making it more resilient in the face of future crises, especially in tourism-dependent countries.

Every part of the United Nations system, including the World Tourism Organization as its specialized agency for the sector, can leverage tourism to help us achieve the Sustainable Development Goals — from inclusive growth to gender empowerment and biodiversity protection. In this regard, we look forward to strengthening the linkages between the World Tourism Organization and our new generation of UN country teams, as the Organization considers joining the UN Sustainable Development Group.

The pandemic has taught us the importance of a healthy planet, not only to sustain tourism but also as a natural barrier against future pandemics. The future of tourism must have sustainability at its core and incorporate circular, low-carbon and inclusive business models and policies.

Ladies and gentlemen, I sincerely hope today’s debate will be taken as an opportunity to rethink and transform tourism to maximize its contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals, ultimately supporting our efforts to build a robust, inclusive, resilient and sustainable recovery which leaves no one behind.

I thank you.

Somali Presidential Election Set for May 15

Somali lawmakers have set May 15th as the date they will select the country’s next president.

The presidential election committee, which includes 17 members from both houses of parliament, met in Mogadishu on Thursday and agreed on the date for the election.

In a vote by a show of hands, the members of the committee chose lawmaker Abdiqani Ugas as the chairman of the Presidential Election Committee, and lawmaker Mohamed Kerow as its deputy chairman.

The committee decided to hold the election on May 15th, just two days prior to the deadline set by international donors to cut their funding unless a new Somali government is formed.

In a brief statement, the deputy speaker of the upper house, Ali Shacban, said that this marks a step forward in completing one of the last duties of parliament — to elect the president.

He said, obviously, our agenda was to elect the committee overseeing the election of the president and to set the date for the election. In the end, he said, “God made it easier for us, and now you can see how well we did.”

The presidential election has been delayed for more than a year because of political disputes that dragged out the process of electing members of parliament.

Last year, lawmakers tried to extend the term of President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed by two years but reversed their decision under strong international pressure.

About a dozen candidates are expected to seek the presidency, including the incumbent, two former presidents and former prime minister, Hassan Ali Kheyre.
